Cheryl Leahy

Cheryl Leahy is the Executive Director of Animal Outlook, a national nonprofit animal protection organization. In this role, Cheryl works on the strategic direction of the organization as a whole, especially focusing on the use of undercover investigations as a mechanism for high-impact advocacy and culture change, and on targeting systemic abuse of farmed animals through proactive litigation. Her work has helped shape the development of animal law in the U.S., including challenging cruel, yet standard, practices forced upon farmed animals, as well as the misleading marketing and unfair business practices by corporations that produce meat, milk and eggs often found in grocery stores. In addition, she builds and oversees Animal Outlook's campaigns to reform the practice and offerings of major food corporations to reduce animal suffering and bring more vegan options into the food supply.
